Is this the start of a desert island rp event, Punk? Like Axis/Allied transport are sunk, and our characters end up on an island and have to survive?

No - this quiz has nothing to do with a desert island event. Although, that's an interesting idea all the same, just don't see it catching on though, I would imagine the RP to be something like:

-Eats coconuts and sun-bathes-

But no, this quiz was just for fun.

The better question is...

Well this has had some really insightful opinions on the objects above within the poll and you're all correct, each item has it's very own useful agenda, but the one item out of all of them that has the most potential is... The ladies' compact mirror!

Whyyyy? Well a few of you have touched upon it's uses already, but just to clarify:

• Signaling, yes the mirror can be used in conjunction with sunlight to signal to aircrafts above or even land-lovers afar!
  
• Fire, assuming it's a very sunny day (and being stuck on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere, it probably will be) you can use the mirror to create fires; much like a magnifying glass on dry leaves/wood.
  
• Possible weapon, yes you could even shatter the mirror into sharp pieces of shards and use it to fend for yourself. Whether you tied it to a piece of wood to create a spiked bat or used your imagination in alternate ways, no matter what, you'll have a jagged shard to protect yourself with.
  
• Tools, bouncing off the weaponry idea above, a sharp piece of shard makes a good cutting tool as well. Whether you need it to prepare food, cut-down objects or even use it as a tool to create more weapons, such as spears (sharpening the wooden ends) it proves useful as a universal cutting tool.
  
• Extended sight, it may seem odd, but you could also use the mirror to see in places you couldn't see previously. Such as venturing into a dangerous cavern on the island, you could use the mirror to preemptively see around corners or even attach it to a long stick and scout out areas that may be too high to reach. Think, they used this simple method during the second world war and it's still used today in many shops, I'm sure you've seen the dome mirrors in the corner of the store.
  

There's probably endless possibilities you could use this mirror for, including setting up traps by sprinkling shards of glass on the floor or adapting the larger shards to act as spikes sticking out of the ground and many other imaginative ideas...

Congrats to those who got it correct! Nobody is entirely wrong.

All those who voted for the ladies compact mirror had the right inclination to the most useful item from the poll. Huzzah!
